After more than a month on the road, and seemingly endless posts on this site that no one actually read all the way through, the first leg of the God Save The Fan tour came to an end in Brooklyn last night. It's nice to end a tour just a few blocks from your apartment; it makes crawling home far less of an… »2/27/08 12:35pm 2/27/08 12:35pm

After the last month of madness, lunacy and a constantly clicking odometer, we were quite pleased to return to New York last night for the first of our two NYC readings to close this first tour leg out. Unfortunately, nobody took any pictures — or at least nobody sent us any — so instead we decided to just post this… »2/26/08 12:35pm 2/26/08 12:35pm

As you've surely noticed by the obsessively rigid timestamps on almost every Deadspin post, which are the same every day, we're kind of anal retentive about time. We hate to be late anywhere — in fact, we're usually half an hour early to everything — and our life is meticulously scheduled. It kind of has to be. So… »2/22/08 12:35pm 2/22/08 12:35pm

Last night's book event on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia did not involve booing, and no one even got mad at us for our snide, cheap comments in the book about Philly fans. We were almost disappointed. Fortunately ... the bar afterwards had Rock Band! »2/21/08 12:35pm 2/21/08 12:35pm

Of all our trips on this whirlwind tour, we had a special gift in Boston last night: Someone signing for the deaf! We have perhaps never been more proud than we were when we had the following conversation with the woman signing: »2/20/08 12:35pm 2/20/08 12:35pm

We are back in New York City for about 36 hours before hitting the East Coast swing, and we must confess that our stop in Mattoon, pictures of which can be found here, wasn't much like our other appearances. First off, it was in the lobby of a mall; we were right next to a woman selling sheep sweaters and model train… »2/18/08 12:35pm 2/18/08 12:35pm

We didn't take many pictures from our reading in Champaign yesterday, so we'll just quickly recap it by saying it's very nice when professors at your old journalism school make their students come to your readings. It thickens the crowd, brings more fascinating questions and, you know, actually assures a female or… »2/13/08 1:05pm 2/13/08 1:05pm

We had about 30 people at our Oak Brook Borders reading last night, and that's about 28 more than we were expecting. It was freezing, snowing like crazy and, of course, way out in the freaking suburbs. But somehow, people dragged themselves through the cold to watch us wear the same thing we've been wearing for about »2/12/08 1:05pm 2/12/08 1:05pm

This God Save The Fan tour business has been so lengthy, and involved so much travel, that something that happened three days ago seems like months ago. Still: Even though we're in Chicago now, Friday's event in Seattle is still fresh in our minds. It was at a loud bar, and involved people receiving chicken tenders… »2/11/08 12:35pm 2/11/08 12:35pm

The God Save The Fan tour hit Alameda, California, last night, a city we'd never visited before. It's really quite nice; we counted more coffee shops than bail bondsmen, and that's usually a good sign. It was really a most enjoyable evening, including cameo appearances by official Deadspin sister and, most… »2/07/08 1:05pm 2/07/08 1:05pm

We had a grand time at the Book Soup reading last night, once we finally found freaking parking. It has been more than a decade since we lived in Los Angeles. We had kind of forgotten. But the real highlight was the reading going on next door to ours: It included appearances by Eric Roberts, Danny Trejo and Kato… »2/06/08 1:35pm 2/06/08 1:35pm

The first step of the book tour kicked off last night at the Changing Hands Bookstore in Phoenix, and we had a grand time with Roger Director, who has considerably more energy than we do. »1/31/08 12:35pm 1/31/08 12:35pm
